This opportunity provides funding for regional partnerships between child welfare agencies, substance use treatment agencies, and juvenile or state courts. The goal is to support family-centered treatment programs and services for families whose children are in an out-of-home placement or are at risk of being placed in an out-of-home placement due to a caregiver's substance use. This program will also expand the scope of evidence-based services for families affected by substance use disorders. Award recipients will use their collaborative infrastructure to build the region's capacity to meet a broad range of needs for families involved with child welfare systems, substance use disorder treatment, courts, and other related service organizations.

Examples of services and activities include:

• Family-based, comprehensive treatment for long-term substance use disorder, including medication-assisted treatment and in-home treatment and recover
• Early intervention and prevention services
• Child and family counseling
• Mental health services
• Parenting skills training
• Replication of successful models for providing family-based, comprehensive substance abuse treatment services
